Here is how to setup the Raspberry Pi to support normal OpenGL or GLES (both with acceleration) and be able to compile the Proton SDK examples. (tested with Raspbian “Jessie” on 6/18/2016)

From my tests I got it working two ways:

1. Set it up using the OpenGL experimental driver. Result: Proton examples only work in X11 in windows mode. Fullscreen (using the SDL2 harness) didn't work. Directions to setup

2. Set it up using GL ES, won't work in X11, works full screen by starting from console. This is more useful for me as it's more pedal to the metal and easier to get 60 fps, no x overhead. With this method we're setting up our own EGL context manually, but still using the SDL2 harness for other things

Instructions to setup GLES with Raspberry Pi and run Proton SDK examples

These steps are what I use to compile stuff by copying things from my Windows computer. A normal user would probably just grab the svn tree and run .sh files.

Give the video card more memory on the pi. Run raspi-config and give it at least 128 or so to be safe.
